3. "Disable AR" for split recordings
  
  sorry, I'm not making myself clear… what wasn't explained is what happens within padding on a split recording. e.g. does the padding also get applied in the split? What happens if the total padding (post part 1 plus pre part 2) is greater than the split time between the parts? You've now...

  Thanks! The "problem" was that I didn't know the details you give in your third paragraph; it's not mentioned in the Disable AR wiki, and the Schedule view doesn't (neither list nor visual) indicate padding, so it wasn't clear what happens to padding in the "split", e.g. if the double-padding...

  thanks BH. ho! something else I missed; I never use the SUI for recording, so hadn't noticed that either, thanks. I think I meant: it would be nice if the CF had an "Edit" option — instead of just "Disable AR" — that turned a scheduled recording into a full manual event, rather than merely...
